Nogva Motorfabrikk AS
Sale of Nogva Motorfabrikk AS to Credo Partners
Saga Corporate Finance is pleased to have assisted the owners of Nogva Motorfabrikk in the majority sale to Credo Partners, a Norwegian private equity fund.
Nogva is a leading provider of turnkey maritime propulsion and auxiliary systems. With a history spanning more than a century, Nogva has earned a strong reputation for reliability and innovation in the maritime industry. Nogva is known for its customer centric approach and has been the preferred partner among customers in aquaculture, fisheries, and ferries for decades. Nogva remains deeply connected to its regional heritage, prioritizing its employees, customers, and business partners. Selecting the right investor was essential to maintaining these values while fostering future progress.
Credo Partners has now acquired a majority stake (51%) in Nogva, forming a partnership with the existing owners, who retain the remaining 49%. This collaboration is set to accelerate Nogva’s expansion and reinforce its industry position. As the company transitions into its next chapter, this investment marks a key milestone. Several long-standing owners are stepping back, and the new partnership with Credo will ensure long-term stability and continued development.

“The decision to bring in a new majority owner for Nogva, after 112 years of family ownership, was an emotional one. Choosing the right advisor was therefore essential. After a competitive selection process, we chose Saga for their maritime expertise, specialized knowledge in selling privately-owned businesses, and strong track record in the Møre region. This proved to be an excellent choice.
Saga has been an exceptional advisor throughout the sale, delivering on every front—our values were upheld, and Nogva has secured a strong majority owner. Beyond their professionalism and integrity, they have also been a personal source of support, which has been just as valuable to me.
If you are considering selling your business, I highly recommend working with an advisor, and I can wholeheartedly endorse Saga. As a bonus, they are truly wonderful people!”
– Kjell Norvoll, CEO and owner of Nogva.
